Surrealism famous for stimulating creativity
Surrealism Famous For Stimulating Creativity Creativity sometimes just comes to you and you can only surmise in hindsight as to the possible origins. Where does a cherry-chocolate god figure come from? It’s funny, bizarre, and unexpected but may be more logical than you think. The vengeful god in the clouds is nothing new and most […]

Surrealism painting addresses PC absurdities
Surrealism painting * “Keeping it Together, Walking on Eggshells” — Surrealism painting by Stephen Gibb, 36″ x 24″, oil on panel, 2019 I imagine a world where the visually rich language of fairy tales and nursery rhymes extends into adulthood.

Surreal art and the pervasive nature of phobias
Surreal art and Phobias While pondering a fun house setting for a painting, I became aware that the whole reason for a fun house is to artificially induce fear in the patron. It became clear that fear or phobias would then become the central theme to the painting. Taking a smattering of common phobias and […]

Surrealism Art: A peeling label on an empty container

Until something better comes along I guess I will reluctantly tolerate them (even if “surrealism art” makes me grind my teeth). I won’t let them define me but I will […]

Pop Surrealism and Lowbrow
Pop Surrealism and Lowbrow Pop Surrealism has a broad range of influences, a reverence for art history, an unsettling presence and a wicked sense of humour.

Canadian surrealist painter looks at the mind
Canadian surrealist painter Stephen Gibb takes a mind-bending look at contemporary art, pop culture and social commentary with his painting You Are Out Of Your Mind!
